There are a number of ways to prepare for your standardized test, one of which is to hire a tutor. Is going the tutoring route right for you? If so, how can you choose a tutor that’s the best fit for your particular learning style?
In this episode we explore key aspects of effective tutoring with MyGuru founder Mark Skoskiewicz. Specifically, we discuss:
- The type of student tutoring is ideally suited for
- The type of student who might be better off with a course, self-study, or another form of test prep
- Characteristics of an effective tutor
- The roles and responsibilities of the student to get the most out of tutoring
- The true value of a tutor (hint: it’s not their hourly rate)
- The benefits of online vs. in-person tutoring
- Four questions you should ask when vetting a tutor
- And more!
Whether you already know you want to work with a tutor or you’re still in the early stages of preparing for your exam, Mark’s perspective on what it takes to succeed on a high-stakes test will serve you well as you decide on the best approach to your prep.
